Chapter Summaries

Chen An and Gu Yue Na investigated how the Demon Empress became a god and traced her breakthrough to a powerful energy mass linked to the Abyssal Sage King. Chen An warned that the power may have made the Demon Empress a vessel for the Abyssal Sage King, leaving Di Tian, Bear Monarch, and the others to seek another path to godhood.

• Chen An identified the Demon Empress’s secret technique as devouring living beings to gain energy and explained that her Law Orb and powerful body had helped her pursue godhood.
• The Demon Empress recounted an energy mass that had greatly increased her cultivation, and Gu Yue Na recognized that its energy resembled the Abyss.
• Chen An compared the energy mass to the weapon he had obtained from the Black Empress, and the Demon Empress confirmed that the mass had been far more powerful.
• Chen An theorized that the Abyssal Sage King had planted his power in the Demon Empress as a seed that enabled her breakthrough and could later let him possess her.
• Chen An rejected becoming a god through the Abyssal Sage King’s power, while the Demon Empress, Di Tian, Bear Monarch, and the others realized they would need another path to godhood.

Chen An and Gu Yue Na removed the Abyssal Sage King's mark from the Demon Empress, who left to search for her daughter while the Federation celebrated Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect's destruction. As the Federation prepared to exploit its victory and consider an expedition against Star Luo and Dou Spirit, it faced mounting anger over the civilian casualties in Shrek City.

• Gu Yue Na used the Dragon God's Heart in Dragon Valley Space to erase the Abyssal Sage King's mark from the Demon Empress.
• Chen An let the Demon Empress leave to search for her daughter and gave her ten days before she had to stop.
• Chen An returned to Mingdu as citizens celebrated Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect's destruction and demanded a counterattack against Star Luo Empire and Dou Spirit Empire.
• The Federation arrested more than twenty thousand Shrek Academy and Tang Sect personnel while unrest in over a thousand cities subsided.
• Preliminary figures showed that two million civilians had been caught up in the Shrek City battle and 560,000 had died, forcing the Federation to fund compensation and resettlement while trying to suppress the news.

Xu Lang announced the Federation’s crackdown on Shrek’s allies and declared war on the Star Luo Empire and the Dou Ling Empire. Chen An received a historic share of the military credit and was appointed Commander-in-Chief before announcing that he would expose a scandal, leaving Qiangu Dongfeng fearing what was coming.

• Xu Lang reported the casualties from the operation against Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect and warned their allied sects and clans that the Federation would investigate and punish them.
• Xu Lang declared war on the Star Luo Empire and the Dou Ling Empire, naming Chen An to command the campaign against Star Luo and Yue Zhengen to lead the campaign against Dou Ling.
• Xu Lang credited Chen An with half the merit for the battle at Shrek City and most of the credit for the wider operation, including destroying the Holy Spirit Cult’s headquarters.
• Xu Lang appointed Chen An Commander-in-Chief, Master of the War God Hall, and Legion Commander of the Sea God Legion, and Chen An accepted the appointment.
• Chen An announced that he would expose a scandal, while the wounded Qiangu Dongfeng watched the broadcast and feared it concerned him.

Chen An exposed the Spirit Pagoda’s alleged cooperation with the Holy Spirit Cult by having the Ghost Emperor describe their dealings during a broadcast. Qiangu Dongfeng denied the accusation, and Chen An offered to test the Soul-Seizing Bell on Spirit Pagoda members as the chapter ended.

• Chen An had Di Tian bring the Ghost Emperor before the cameras and questioned him about the Holy Spirit Cult’s cooperation with the Spirit Pagoda.
• The Ghost Emperor described how the Spirit Pagoda had helped the Holy Spirit Cult try to steal a God-Slaying Weapon, shocking officials and angering the public.
• The Federation Speaker and Xu Lang called for an investigation and connected Qiangu Dongfeng to the broadcast to answer the accusation.
• Qiangu Dongfeng denied colluding with the Holy Spirit Cult, while Leng Yaozhu and other Spirit Pagoda members wondered whether the charge was true.
• Chen An presented the Soul-Seizing Bell and offered to test it on ten Spirit Pagoda members, but Qiangu Dongfeng questioned whether it could control their minds.

The Spirit Pagoda agreed to test Chen An’s Soul-Seizing Bell to prove its innocence, and Chen An traveled with Di Tian to its headquarters. The test began with Leng Yaozhu, who felt no obvious effect as the Spirit Pagoda prepared questions to verify whether the artifact forced truthful answers.

• Xu Lang and the Federation Speaker backed Chen An’s proposal for the Spirit Pagoda to test the artifact using people it chose.
• Qiangu Dongfeng reluctantly agreed, and Leng Yaozhu, Spirit Pagoda officials, and three members of the Qiangu Family volunteered as test subjects.
• Chen An and Di Tian used the Space-Time Shuttle to reach the Spirit Pagoda Headquarters, where Leng Yaozhu and the others received them.
• Chen An activated the Soul-Seizing Bell on Leng Yaozhu, who reported no special sensation and asked whether it had affected her.
• Chen An said the bell had affected Leng Yaozhu and invited the Spirit Pagoda to provide questions whose answers they knew.

Chen An used the Soul-Seizing Bell to prove that Spirit Pagoda officials had told the truth about the Spirit Pagoda’s cooperation with the Holy Spirit Cult. As Qiangu Dongfeng’s family and colleagues tried to distance themselves from the scandal, Chen An refused to let them blame Qiangu Dongfeng alone and began questioning him about who else knew.

• Chen An tested ten Spirit Pagoda officials with the Soul-Seizing Bell, and all of them told the truth, confirming the Spirit Pagoda’s cooperation with the Holy Spirit Cult.
• Leng Yaozhu and other Spirit Pagoda leaders claimed the decision had been Qiangu Dongfeng’s alone and that they had known nothing about it.
• Qiangu Dieting arrived and urged Qiangu Dongfeng to admit his guilt, offering to accept punishment on behalf of the Qiangu Family.
• Chen An said the Qiangu Family and Spirit Pagoda had to pay a price, and he used the Soul-Seizing Bell to question Qiangu Dongfeng about other people involved.
• Qiangu Dongfeng resisted Chen An’s influence, while Qiangu Dieting tried to intervene and Di Tian blocked him.

Chen An imposed punishment on the Qiangu Family for colluding with the Holy Spirit Cult, while the Federation prepared to conquer the Star Luo Empire and Dou Ling Empire. At the Abyss Battlefield, the Abyssal Sage King launched a full-scale invasion, and the Blood God Legion faced a second tide after suffering heavy losses.

• Chen An and Xu Lang made the Qiangu Family accept withdrawal from the Spirit Pagoda and required its Rank 80-and-above Soul Masters to earn fifty million military merits at the Abyss Battlefield.
• The Qiangu Family began preparing to leave the Spirit Pagoda, which was fined thirty billion, and Leng Yaozhu became its new chairman.
• The Federation rejected peace offers from the Star Luo Empire and Dou Ling Empire, and its army set out under Chen An's command against the Star Luo Empire.
• Surviving members of the Holy Spirit Cult told the Abyss Creatures that the earlier god-level aura came from two experts fighting, prompting the Abyssal Sage King to order an invasion.
• The Blood God Legion repelled an Abyss Tide but suffered heavy losses, then faced another tide less than two hours later.

The Blood God Legion faced an unrelenting Abyss assault that suggested a full-scale invasion of the Douluo Plane, and the Federation sought reinforcements. After learning of the crisis, Chen An agreed to go, but paused to consider how to prepare for the Abyssal Sage King.

• Zhang Huanyun reported the abnormal, continuous Abyss attacks to the Federation, which convened an emergency meeting and promised reinforcements.
• Zhang Huanyun asked Xu Lang to send Chen An and the powerful people around him to the battlefield, while the Federation continued assessing the invasion.
• The Abyss Creatures attacked throughout the night and widened the passage, forcing Qiangu Dieting to intervene and repel ten Titled Douluo-level creatures.
• Chen An left the Dragon Valley Space, found dozens of missed calls, and learned from Xu Lin that the Abyss Plane might be launching a full-scale invasion.
• Chen An agreed to bring reinforcements, then considered the danger posed by the god-level Abyssal Sage King before setting out.

Chen An entered the Undead Plane with Gu Yue Na and the Demon Empress to absorb its deathly energy and strengthen himself before facing the Abyssal Sage King and the Plane Master. The group arrived safely, but Chen An sensed danger and encountered an undead creature.

• Chen An decided to visit the Undead Plane before going to the Abyss Battlefield and sent Di Tian, Bear Monarch, the Ten Thousand Demon King, and other ferocious beasts to support the Blood God Legion.
• Gu Yue Na and the Demon Empress joined Chen An, and he had the Nether Emperor open a passage with the Netherking Sword.
• Chen An, Gu Yue Na, the Demon Empress, and the Nether Emperor crossed into the gray, deathly Undead Plane.
• Chen An absorbed the deathly energy around them with the Death God Dragon source and warned the others that god-level undead creatures might be present.
• The Demon Empress quickly killed an undead creature that attacked the group, and its body dissolved into gray energy.

Chen An and his allies fought waves of powerful undead in the Undead Plane, hoping the deathly energy would strengthen his Death God Dragon origin. When a god-level ice bear undead creature arrived with a vast force, Chen An, the Demon Empress, and Gu Yue Na confronted it, and Chen An recognized its body as the former Ice Bear King.

• Chen An and his allies fought more than two hundred undead creatures, including six at the Limit Douluo level, while he absorbed their deathly energy.
• Chen An’s Death God Dragon origin grew stronger from the energy, but it still showed no sign of a qualitative transformation.
• Chen An sensed a god-level undead approaching with more than a dozen Limit Douluo-level undead and over a hundred Titled Rank undead.
• Chen An entrusted the Nether Emperor to the Time Dragon, then charged into battle with the Demon Empress and Gu Yue Na beside him.
• Chen An killed dozens of ordinary Titled Douluo-level undead with a punch and exchanged blows with the god-level ice bear undead creature, which he recognized as the Ice Bear King’s body.

Chen An, Gu Yue Na, and the Demon Empress fought the Ice Bear King undead creature, while Chen An drained its undead energy. The creature called for help from four stronger god-level undead creatures in Huo Yuhao’s strengthened Undead Plane.

• Chen An endured the Ice Bear King undead creature’s ice attacks as Gu Yue Na and the Demon Empress wounded it with God Officer-level attacks.
• Chen An charged through the creature’s Ice Storm, climbed onto its back, and began absorbing its undead energy with the power of the Death God Dragon.
• Gu Yue Na and the Demon Empress kept attacking the Ice Bear King undead creature, preventing it from focusing on throwing Chen An off as he drained its energy.
• The Ice Bear King undead creature called nearby undead creatures to assist and sent a distant plea for help to the other god-level undead creatures.
• The chapter revealed that Huo Yuhao had strengthened the Undead Plane and raised four other undead creatures there to Tier 3 Gods, each stronger than the Ice Bear King.

Chen An drained the ice bear undead creature of its undead qi, raising his combat strength to the peak of the quasi-god level without achieving godhood. As four stronger dragon undead creatures approached with an army, Chen An prepared his allies for a dangerous fight.

• Chen An absorbed the ice bear undead creature's undead qi until it collapsed and withered into a skeleton.
• Chen An assessed his increased strength and level seventy-six Soul Power, but found that his Death God Dragon Bloodline had not broken through to godhood.
• Chen An began extracting undead qi from the other undead creatures in the Undead Plane.
• Chen An sensed four powerful god-level undead creatures approaching together and gathered Gu Yue Na, the Demon Empress, the Fire Dragon King, and the other Undead Puppets to prepare for battle.
• Chen An identified the approaching enemies as undead giant dragons and judged that his Death God Dragon Bloodline could suppress them.

Chen An transformed into the Death God Dragon and used his superior Bloodline and death power to kite four Sacred Dragon undead creatures while devouring their deathly aura. He kept evading their attacks as he grew stronger and they weakened, while Gu Yue Na and the others dealt with the remaining undead.

• Chen An abandoned direct physical combat and transformed into the Death God Dragon, whose roars and stronger Bloodline suppressed the four approaching dragon undead creatures.
• The four undead creatures were revealed to be Light, Thunder, Ice, and Flame Sacred Dragons that Huo Yuhao had once raised as undead from the remains of god-level dragons.
• Chen An absorbed deathly aura from the four Sacred Dragons, provoking them to charge at him.
• Chen An used the Suiyue Liuli Lamp to slow time around himself and relied on Fate Power and Time Power to evade the pursuing dragons' attacks.
• Gu Yue Na and the others continued fighting the other undead creatures while Chen An wore down the four dragons, who refused to change targets or seek help.

Chen An drained the deathly energy from the five god-level undead creatures and discovered that his Death God Dragon origin was nearing completion. He then devoured the remaining undead by the thousands, leaving Gu Yue Na and the others with nothing to fight while she watched for signs of trouble.

• Chen An evaded four god-level undead creatures for nearly two hours, absorbing their deathly energy and strengthening his Soul Power to a stable level eighty.
• Chen An learned that his Death God Dragon origin was close to completion, though it still required a massive amount of death energy.
• The four weakened undead creatures fled, but Chen An pursued and drained them until their bodies collapsed, finishing off all five god-level undead creatures of the Undead Plane.
• Chen An transformed into the Death God Dragon and devoured deathly energy from more than a hundred thousand undead creatures, turning them to dust.
• Gu Yue Na and the others no longer needed to fight, while Gu Yue Na watched Chen An and worried that absorbing so much deathly energy might harm him.

Chen An absorbed the Undead Plane’s death energy until his Death God Dragon origin neared evolution, causing the Creation Holy Tree to emerge from his chest. The tree extracted the plane core and produced a source of purer death energy, leaving Chen An poised for a breakthrough while the plane remained temporarily stable.

• Chen An devoured the four god-level death creatures and more than a hundred thousand other undead, bringing his Death God Dragon origin close to evolution.
• Chen An instinctively withdrew from his Death God Dragon state as the Creation Holy Tree emerged from his chest.
• Gu Yue Na watched the tree appear and wondered whether it was Chen An’s transformation ability.
• Chen An sensed that his Death God Dragon origin still lacked enough energy to evolve.
• The Creation Holy Tree pulled the Undead Plane’s core from deep beneath the ground and placed its energy beneath its roots.
• Chen An recognized the core’s immense, pure death energy and realized that absorbing it could make his breakthrough inevitable.

Chen An absorbed the Undead Plane’s core through the Creation Holy Tree, triggering the Death God Dragon Origin’s evolution and beginning his transformation into a true Deity. Gu Yue Na watched the process succeed as the chapter explained the differences between gods who cultivate their own divine positions and those who inherit them.

• The Undead Plane’s core became energy and was absorbed by the Creation Holy Tree, causing the Death God Dragon Fruit to grow and deepen in power.
• Chen An’s Soul Power and spiritual power surged as the evolving Death God Dragon Origin began transforming him from a soul master into a Deity.
• Gu Yue Na realized Chen An’s method had worked and watched him approach godhood through his own efforts rather than by inheriting a divine position.
• The chapter explained that self-made gods generally had better control of their power and greater potential for advancement than gods who inherited divine positions.
• The chapter distinguished innate Deities from acquired Deities and explained that passed-down divine positions usually could not advance unless their rules were changed through the God Realm Central Hub.
• Tang San had raised the Sea God position to the God King level by using the Asura God position to access and alter the God Realm Central Hub.

Chen An became a god by transforming his Death God Dragon Bloodline until the universe’s rules recognized him and granted him Godly Power. The Plane Master concealed the breakthrough’s aura from the Abyssal Sage King, then realized that Chen An—not Gu Yue Na—had become a true Deity.

• Gu Yue Na anticipated Chen An’s potential to rise from God Officer to God King, while the Time Dragon, Mountain Dragon King, Ice Dragon King, Fire Dragon King, and Seven Sin Gods’ Undead Puppets entered his body to receive benefits from his ascension.
• Chen An’s Death God Dragon origin granted the Demon Empress a rule mark, allowing the god-level whale to become a true Deity recognized by the universe.
• Chen An’s Soul Power transformed into permanent Godly Power as he became a god without the God Realm Central Hub’s recognition.
• The Plane Master sensed the godhood breakthrough in the Undead Plane and hurriedly concealed its aura so the Abyssal Sage King would not detect it.
• The Plane Master suspected Gu Yue Na at first, then recognized the unfamiliar yet familiar aura as Chen An’s and realized Chen An had become a true Deity through the universe’s rules.

Chen An completed his breakthrough into a god, then escaped the collapsing Undead Plane with Gu Yue Na and the others. The Plane Master appeared again on the Douluo Plane, mistaking the newly ascended Demon Empress for the source of the god-level aura.

• Plane Master Tang Hao decided to contact Tang San after he failed to stop an unknown person from becoming a god.
• Chen An's Death God Dragon Bloodline evolved to the level of the Dragon God, and his Soul Power transformed into Godly Power.
• Chen An considered forging his own Godly Armor and found that his other bloodlines were growing but had not yet evolved.
• The Undead Plane began collapsing after the Creation Holy Tree withdrew its power, so Chen An killed Netherworld Emperor Halosa and escaped with Gu Yue Na, the five skeletons, and the Demon Empress.
• The Plane Master appeared above Chen An and Gu Yue Na on the Douluo Plane and focused on the Demon Empress, whose aura revealed that she had also become a deity.

After Chen An reached godhood and Demon Empress advanced to early Tier 3 God, the Plane Master left without confronting them. In the Abyss Plane, the Abyssal Sage King ordered a stronger assault on the Douluo Plane to test whether a god-level powerhouse had appeared, while Gu Yue Na estimated Chen An's new strength.

• Demon Empress's early Tier 3 God power startled the Plane Master, who considered killing her but ultimately left after Gu Yue Na confronted him.
• Chen An opened a passage with the Seven-Colored Crystal and brought Gu Yue Na and the five sets of remains into the Dragon Valley Space.
• The Abyssal Sage King revealed that he had sensed a possible Tier 3 God in the Douluo Plane and killed an Abyss Emperor in his anger.
• Spirit Emperor suggested the godly aura might have been temporary, so the Abyssal Sage King ordered an intensified attack to draw out the Douluo Plane's powerhouses.
• Chen An described his newfound strength to Gu Yue Na, who judged him around peak God Officer level but still below the Plane Master.

Chen An and Gu Yue Na planned to stop the Plane Master from using the Abyss Plane’s power against them, considering a brief severance of his connection to the plane with the Dragon God's Heart. After settling on a strategy, Chen An converted five corpses into more capable Undead Puppets.

• Chen An assessed his six existing Undead Puppets and estimated that, with five more, they might have a twenty to thirty percent chance of defeating the Plane Master.
• Gu Yue Na warned that the Plane Master could sacrifice the entire Abyss Plane to take them down, and Chen An proposed using the Dragon God's Heart to cut him off from the plane’s power.
• Gu Yue Na agreed the Dragon God's Heart might sever the Plane Master's connection for about ten seconds, and the pair discussed a plan to subdue him during that brief window.
• Gu Yue Na asked about the little tree that had emerged from Chen An's chest, but he kept its nature secret and went to convert five corpses.
• Chen An converted the five corpses into Undead Puppets with much greater intelligence and combat ability, including an Ice Bear and four Sacred Dragons.
